Che Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 1965 ---~ PAGE 4 Every Citizen Should Be Ambassador Of Oshawa The prosperity and progress ach- feved by Oshawa in recent years are the envy of many other Canadian towns and cities. In visiting other cities in Ontario, one finds a keen interest in what is happening in Oshawa, in its phenomenal popula- lation increase, in the expansion of its industrial fabric. It is interesting to find this ap- preciation, elsewhere, of what is happening in Oshawa. But we won- der if the citizens of our own com- munity are as fully seized as are people elsewhere of the status which has been attained by Oshawa, Today, to be a citizen of Oshawa is a matter for pride. This is not only because of its industrial develop- ment,, its intake of new citizens, and the high wage and living stan- dards of its people. There is just cause for pride in the community spirit. which has been developed be- cause so large a proportion of the people of Oshawa find it a good place in which to live and to bring up a family. There are few cities which have as much to offer to growing fami- lies and young people as Oshawa. But one thing which seems to be lacking is a disinclination on the part of our citizens when travelling elsewhere to do a job of promotion and boosting for the community in which they live. The Oshawa Chamber of Com- merce and the city's Industrial Com- missioner, are doing excellent work in making the advantages of Osh- awa known abroad, But even more effectual would be the development of so great a spirit of pride in Osh- awa on the part of its citizens that they will, one and all, become am- bassadors for the city in which they live and earn their living. As con- ditions now are in this city, there is no need to hide our light under a bushel. Our citizens, when they are travelling abroad during the sum- mer holiday season, should be ac- tive and enthusiastic in expressing their pride in the fact that they are Oshawans, U.K.'s Financial Crisis The greatest crisis facing the British government is not on the question of whether or not the Brit- {sh steel industry shall be re- nationalized. That is a purely dom- estic question, concerning the ap- plication of the Socialist policies of the Labor party. But whether or not steel is re-nationalized will not make more than a slight ripple in international waters. Facing the Labor government squarely as an issue of tremendous international significance is the perilous position of the pound sterl- ing and the state of Britain's gold and dollar reserves. This is of im- portance because Britain acts as the international banking centre for the whole sterling area.; Thus the ead performance of the pound sterl- ing in the world's money markets in the last week or two is reaching somewhat alarming proportions. The British treasury is at the moment being caught in a tremen- dous squeeze because of the neces- sity to use up its precious reserves to hold the value of the pound sterl- She Oshawa Times T. L.

This has been aggravated by United States efforts, at the same time, to curb the outflow of its gold and dollar reserves. This brings the British government close to a financial crisis which may well have violent political repercus- sions within Britain, Many of the British people have not forgotten the financial morass into which their country fell during the years of Labor government from 1945.to 1951. Going further back, some recall what happened under the Labor government of the 1930s when Britain was forced off the gold standard, In business and banking circles there are grave fears that the fi- nancial ineptitude being shown by the present government will bring a recurrence of the kind of crises which had a disastrous effect on the country's economy under previous Labor regimes. The chief essential to bring back financial stability to Britain is a greater measure of confidence in its government, So long as that is lacking, as it seems to be today, Britain will be in grave danger of deflation of its currency to lower levels than those held at the pres- ent time.

PAT NICHOLSON CRITICIZED The Editor, The Oshawa Times. Dear Sir, It was surprising to read "Ottawa Report' by Mr. Pat- rick Nicholson in your issue of May 11, 1965, In this article, Mr, Nicholson siaies that Social Credit leader Robert Thompson led six of his followers in a re- cent vote to support the Pear- son government. Mr. Nicholson states that Mr. Thompson showe ed his continuing determination, now held under two govern- ments, that Parliament -should get on with the nation's busi- ness, ete I .would suggest that it is rather suijsising that this should be written by your Mr. Nicholson since it was Mr, Thompson's change of heart that brought about the defeat of the previous Conservative Ad- ministration in 1963, Mr. Nichole son acted at that time as a "go- between" between the defectors in the Conservative Cabinet and the Social Credit leader which engineered this defeat. Mr. Nic olson should pay more attention to fact, particularly when he has been so closely associated with it in writing his column. Yours sincerely, WILLIE McNEISH 164 Melrose avenue, Toronto, Ontario. MAC'S MUSINGS It is a wonderful and Breath-taking experience For those who are lovers Of the beauties of nature, Of the glow. and color Of trees and fields, To wander abroad along The back concessions And the side roads of Ontario county in these Days of early summer. The other day we found Ourselves driving around Part of Ontario county, Forsaking the paved highways And following the dirt roads As they weund up hills And then down again in an Aimless sort of wandering, Driving on the back roads, One has to drive slowly Because of their condition "And their narrowness, But that in itself js Something of a blessing This gives on ample time To look, around and view The prodigal richness Of the rural scenery, Of fields richly green, Of trees in the background Where many hues mingle With each other to create A picture of loveliness Enhanced by blossoms Pink and white and lilac, There is an endowment Of glorious scenery right At our back doors That can far surpass that Found by going far afield, If only our souls can be Receptive to our enjoying it. --June 3, 1965. Swindle Sheet Gets U.K. Axe (Montreal Star) The British Labor party was once described as owing more to Methodism than to Marx, It is a fair charge. Mr. Wilson's latest budget provides a near perfect example. Living it up in the Britain of 1965 is going to be a very costly business. In one easy gesture the new gov- ernment has put paid to one lovely lush expense account s0- ciety, Our British colleagues will no longer be able to claim tax relief for lunches, dinners, and theatre entertainment, unless of course they are fortunate enough to know overseas buy- ers. Mr, Wilson has not stopped there. Tax increases totalling an extra $607,000,000 will help curb all that extravagant consumer spending we have got used to, Cigarettes will be more expen- sive: whiskey and gin up, It is all very necessary and no doubt worthy, Let's hope. the idea doesn't spread too far REMEM Non ConFiDENce, MOTIONS >< -- 'i : ~y, DN 4 KX | Exriggvt = Sag BER -- WE ALL GO UP TOGETHER Australian Labor Loss Is Boost For Menzies By ROBERT COLEMAN Canadian Press Correspondent SYDNEY, . Australia (CP)~ The position of Prime Minister Sir Robert Menzies' ruling Lib- eral party has been further strengthened by the defeat in May of the Australian Labor party government of New South Wales after 24 years in office. But federal Labor supporters may have some comfort from the fact that state elections in Australia rarely give much in- dication of political trends on a national level. There are four main political parties in Australia--Liberal comparable to Britain's Con- servatives; Australian. Labor, similar to but perhaps less so- cialistic than British Labor; Country, which represents the interests mainly of the primary producer; and Democratic La- bor, a breakaway group from the Labor party with strong Ro- man Catholic support. COMMUNISTS WEAK The Communist party con- tests some seats in most elec- tions without ever having won one, There are two or three other small parties which crop up from time to time. The new government of New South Wales will be a Liberal- Country party coalition, These two parties usually move in har- mony and have frequently gov- erned as a coalition, both fed- erally and in the various states. Deputy Prime Minister John McEwen is a Country party member, The new premier of New South Wales is Robert William Askin, 56, a suburban bank of- ficer who has been described as a middle-of-the-road man, He has been in Parliament since 1950 and has been state Liberal party leader six years, He replaces as premier John Renshaw, , butcher and live stock dealer, who has been in Parliament since 1941 and suc- ceeded to the premiership only last year on the retirement of J, B.

Most are 23 or 24, and there are a few more men than women SERVE AS EQUALS A CUSO pamphlet says: "They will go, not as experts, but as junior personnel who serve on a basis of" equality with those with whom they will live and work," Thomas Schatzky, national vice-president and secretary of the Toronto CUSO committee, Says volunteer screening and orientation starts as early as possible, and it usually begins with what amounts to an at- tempt to discourage recruits "We have five or six general talks in the fall and. spring terms. We try to present a bal- ance between personal reminis-- cence from returned volunteers, and problems, especially per- sonal problems. "We try to paint the blackest picture at first." BACKGROUND FILLED IN CUSO forwards its sorted list to interested countries, and when appointments, are con- firmed, tries to supply the vol- unteers with as much informa- tion as possible about the places to which they will be going In the summer, all volun- teers are sent to orientation courses and go to their assign- ments from there. If they are going to teach, they first spend a month on a teacher-training course. Then they separate to take orientation courses for the areas to which they will be go- ing This year volunteers for Asia will go to. the University of British Columbia, the Carib- bean group to the University of Toronto, the English - speaking African group to McGill Uni versity, the French-speaking to the University of Montreal. March, Premier Sir Playford's government after 32. years. Playford is considered one of Australia's most astute politi- cians, and his government's de- feat meant for him the end of 26 years of leadership. The new South Australian pre- mier is Frank Walsh, 67 a stonemason In Victoria, a Liberal government headed by Bolte, a farmer, has been in office a record 10 years, Labor has little hope on present indi- cations of turning the tables in that state in the next few years. In Western Australia the Lib- erals have been in power since A Word For The British (Christian Science Monitor) It is part of an ambassador's job to say nice things about the land he represents. We believe, however, that the British Am- bassador to the United States was telling needed truths when he termed 'harmful nonsense" the concept of Britain as an old lady living in the shadow of past glories. He then went on to list a num- ber of formidable present - day British achievements; 22 Nobel science prize winners since the war, more Britons in India to- day than when independence was granted, 40 per cent of world trade financed by the pound sterling, among much else Indeed, Sir Patrick Dean could have said far more than he did. He could have pointed out that British thought -- politi- cal, economic, cultural -- was stil] potent in a large number of new and old countries, And_§if there was ever a time when thought was more powerful than mete physical might or posses- sions, it is in 1965, POINTED PARAGRAPHS "It is difficult to draw a line between luxuries and necessi- lies,' says an economist, Yes, but many people now-adays classify anything that they can somehow manage to buy as a necessity. tions last Thomas was toppled party Henry The word 'great' had a brief moment of glory in being ap- plied to Winston Churchill, but it's now back again associating with basketball players and rock'n roll singers. 1959; before that Labor ruled from 1953.

Only an extraordinary Jand- slide could threaten his position in next year's general elections. Also, if present trends continue, he seems assured of a Senate majority until well into the 1970s A come-back by Labor in the federal sphere appears remote while the present breach be- tween the Labor and Democra- tic Labor parties continues-- and there is no sign of this be- ing healed.

The first of these is that the Western countries, more than the Soviet Union, won the war and the second is that Adolf Hitler helped them by wrong- headedly over-riding the advice of his generals at crucial mo- ments. The German people and sol- diers, says Clark, saw Russia as the main antagonist. "For the German nation 'the war' meant the war in the Fast,"' Clark writes in his 402- page volume published by Hutchinson. "The bombing, the U-boat campaign, the glamor of the Af- rika Korps, these were inciden- tals when over 2,000,000 fathers, husbands, brothers, were en- gaged day and night in a struggle with the untermensch (sub-humans)." Clark vividly describes the appalling sufferings on the East- ern Front and also the unspeak- able atrocities committed on the Russian civilian population by the Germans in this greatest land battle of history. Germans heading -eastward passed into a "belt of country, up to 500 miles across, where the septic violence of nazism festered openly... .-+ DESCRIBES VIOLENCE "Mass murder, deportations, deliberate starvation of prisoner cages' the burning alive of school children, 'target-practice' on civilian hospitals--atrocities were so commonplace that no man, coming fresh to the scene, could stay sane without a pro- tective veneer of brutalization," Clark, 35, already has a repu- tation for distrust of generals following his first book, The Donkeys, about First World War generals, Even allowing for this, he fires some penetrat- ing salvos against the Wehr- macht leaders The Wehrmacht is depicted as plunging into Russia devoid QUEEN'S PARK of any long-range strategic plan. The "Eastern marshals" scram- bled for individual glory, often disastrously disobedient to or- ders from Berlin. Hitler alone was able to grasp the over-all picture and control the field marshals, says Clark, adding: "No truly objective historian could refrain from admiring this man. His capacity for master- ing detail, his sense of history, his retentive memory, his stra- tegic vision -- all these had flaws, but they were brilliant nevertheless." NOT FINAL WORD Most critics agree that Bar- barossa, which was Hitler's code name for the Russian in- vasion, is by no means the final word on that conflict, especially since--as Clark freely admits most of its information comes from German sources. Writing in the Weekly Ob- server, Edward Crankshaw, ex- pert on. Russian affairs is sharply critical of Clark's as- sessment of Hitler's genius: "The main trouble is that this obsession with the masters gifts renders Mr. Clark very unsound about the comparative qualities of his generals and, at times, on the general conduct of the campaigns." But Crankshaw, like other re- viewers, gives Clark full marks for his powers of describing 'the actual fighting, whether set battles on a colossal scale or the grand envelopments of a war of movement. When the tanks are in motion he not only comes to life, he writes better, too," Michael Howard, reviewing Barbarossa in the Sunday Times, recalls that the Rus- sians lost 20,000,000 lives, 3,000,- 000 of them prisoners of war in German hands, "It was their armies, as Sir Winston Churchill generously recognized, which tore the guts out of the Wehrmacht and made possible the victories in the West, It is refreshing to find a British historian who once again has the courage to admit it," County Welfare Unit Given Incentives By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--One Friday mor- ning here was a real block- buster. Usually the government schedules its program to avoid more than one major piece of new business introduced at any sitting. This brings publicity value. But this particular morning it had three. Education Minister Bill Davis brought in his community col- lege bill, Premier Robarts introduced {mportant changes in the Pen- sions Benefits Act. And Welfare "Minister Louis Cecile had three bills, including amendments to the Department of Public Welfare Act. The college and pensions leg- islation bills got the big play. But, Mr. Cecile's department bill could, in the long run, be the most important. For it is a concrete incentive towards larger units of local govern- ment.

In welfare it is felt that county units mean a_ better standard of service for every- body at lower costs, The many small units that now exist can't afford high- standard or specialist workers in many cases, and all have their own administrative costs, which essentially means ex- travagance, There have been four county welfare units in operation: Wentworth, Welland, and Prince Edward Counties and the District of Sudbury. These have been pilot proj- ects, and they have been suc- cessful, Now that major finan- cial benefits are being offered, it can be expected that others will follow And this could be the big break towards regional govern- ment. Groups of municipalities will be working together on these projects. This can lead them to working together in other fields.
